World Book Day was held on the 3rd March and here at High Kirk Community Playgroup in Ballymena we invited lots of incredible characters to our playgroup. All the children were encouraged to dress up as their favourite character from a story book. Just have a look below:

We had some handsome princes, princesses, a gruffalo, a hungry caterpillar, and lots more amazing characters. On World Book Day all of the children are given a £1 voucher which they can exchange for a free book encouraging them to enjoy reading from a very early age. At High Kirk Playgroup we see this as very important and the children here absolutely love story time! The World Book Day books which we would recommend for pre-schoolers are Kipper’s Visit and Supertato. Well done to all the children who dressed up and to all the parents who helped them with their wonderful costumes.
